NASA’s MAVEN Detects Rare Solar Wind Effect in Mars Atmosphere
NASA’s MAVEN orbiter has detected the Zwan-Wolf effect on Mars for the first time. The discovery suggests solar wind interactions on unmagnetized worlds are more complex than scientists once believed.

Study Reveals Neptune's Moon Nereid May Be Last Intact Survivor Of Ancient Cosmic Collision
Astronomers believe Triton may not have originally formed around Neptune.

Four-Planet Parade In April 2026: When And How To Watch In India
India is one of the better places in the Northern Hemisphere to catch this rare planet parade.

Why Jupiter Has Four Giant Moons While Saturn Has Just One, Study Explains
Scientists suggest the strong magnetic field of Jupiter created regions for multiple large moons to form, unlike Saturn. The findings could reshape how astronomers search for exomoons in distant planetary systems.

Saturn And Jupiter Gain New Moons, Take Solar System Satellite Count To 442
The newly discovered moons are "irregular" satellites, meaning they are small (averaging about 3 km across) and have distant, often eccentric orbits.

NASA Begins Building Dragonfly Drone; Nuclear-Powered ‘Octocopter’ Enters Testing Ahead of 2028 Launch
NASA has begun construction of the Dragonfly mission, which will utilise a nuclear-powered rotorcraft lander to investigate Saturn's largest moon, Titan. The car-sized drone is scheduled to launch in 2028 and will conduct a comprehensive surface survey using its Multi-Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (MMRTG). The spacecraft will comple...

Scientists Uncover Vast Web Of Hidden Electromagnetic Waves Around Tiny Ice World
Scientists have discovered that Saturn's moon Enceladus creates a massive electromagnetic wake, revealing its major influence on the planet's magnetic and plasma environment.

Researchers Suggest Saturn's Titan Moon Formed in a Single High-Energy Impact Event
New research suggests Saturn’s largest moon Titan and its iconic rings may share a violent origin. Simulations indicate Titan formed after a massive collision between two moons about 100 to 200 million years ago, resurfacing Titan and altering its orbit. The resulting instability likely shattered smaller moons, sending icy debris inward to create...

Planetary Parade In February 2026: When And How To Watch Six Planets Align In A Rare Sky Spectacle
Light pollution won't significantly hinder viewing, but clouds can be problematic, so clear skies are essential.

Scientists Reveal Why Jupiter and Saturn’s Polar Weather Looks So Different
Although Jupiter and Saturn are similar gas giants, their polar weather patterns are strikingly different. Saturn hosts a single, massive hexagonal storm at its north pole, while Jupiter features a central cyclone surrounded by smaller vortices. New simulations suggest the contrast may arise from differences deep inside the planets. A denser, “ha...

Astronomers Measure Mass and Distance of a Rogue Planet for the First Time in History
Astronomers have measured the mass and distance of a rogue planet for the first time. Using observations from Earth and the Gaia space telescope, the planet was found to be just under Saturn’s mass and about 10,000 light-years away. The study highlights how free-floating planets are ejected from star systems and improves understanding of planetar...
